Earlier today, a number of harvesters, accompanied by dozens of individuals, arrived to conduct an uncoordinated olive harvest in an area near Beitar Illit. Harvesting in this area requires a request to be submitted to the relevant authorities in advance of the start of the olive harvest season. This coordination is necessary to ensure the security of the area and maintain public order.
Due to the security risk posed by conducting an uncoordinated harvest near an Israeli community, IDF soldiers, Border Police forces in Judea and Samaria, and officers from the Judea and Samaria District Police arrived at the scene and detained those present.
The landowner was informed that he must coordinate the olive harvest on his plot of land and was provided with the relevant contact information to arrange a harvest at a later date.
It should be emphasized that authorized olive harvests have taken place and continue to take place. To date, approximately 100 coordinated harvests have been conducted across Judea and Samaria, yielding many dozens of tons of produce, with security provided and coordination by the security forces, without any unusual incidents.
In areas designated for coordinated harvesting, only harvesters will be permitted to enter, solely for the purpose of harvesting.
As in previous years, security forces are working to facilitate a safe and orderly olive harvest season, with a firm commitment to enabling harvesting without unusual incidents or interruptions, alongside their ongoing defensive and counterterrorism missions.
Dear Secretary Bessent @SecScottBessent,
My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov.
The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank’s profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison.
I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return.
I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something.
Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act.
Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with “America” in its name. And once again, not one individual charged.
Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working.
A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats.
This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried.
There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go.
Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: “Justice is the defense of our liberty.” I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel’s money should be standing next to him.
I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them.
This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one.
Three things would change the math overnight.
Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury’s history combined.
End “too big to jail.” An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.
And if Bank of America will not act as America’s bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them.
Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine.
I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it.
Respectfully,
Everett A. Stern

Arynne Wexler positions these jokes perfectly
So perfectly that she laughs at little at part of it
She is likely correct that Mayor Mamdani lost 19 friends or family on that day
@ArynneWexler is one of the best based comedians on the scene today
A performer that would be worth traveling into NYC to see

By around 1900, Ottoman Palestine was estimated to have a sparse population of only 580,000–600,000, of which the large majority (about 90%) were Arabs (both Muslims and Christians).
What is less well known is why :
1. Successive waves of imperialism and colonialism had greatly reduced the Jewish population via persecution and the subsequent imposition of Arab and Islamic rule.
2. The Ottomans had already restricted Jewish settlement from 1881 (a form of apartheid against Jews).
3. The region contained large areas of swamp and desert, and was riddled with malaria. Only the Jews, who had also been the majority ethnic group in Jerusalem for decades, had the skill and vision to build the infrastructure for a modern society that could grow to easily support a population in excess of 10 million.
4. Religious Islam - as reflected in the Quran - acknowledges the ancient historical and spiritual connection of the Jews (Bani Isra'il) to Israel, viewing them as the previous rightful inhabitants and recipients of divine scripture there. However, political Islam saw a problem with the return of Jews to their indigenous land and wanted to prevent the possibility of a new State of Israel.
I LOST $15,000 TO AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR, AND NEW YORK'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO!
This is personal for me.
I hired a man to perform electrical work in Dunkirk, New York. I paid him $15,000 as a down payment. He took my money, and the work I paid for was never completed.
I contacted New York Attorney General Letitia James's office seeking assistance.
I was told they received approximately 300 to 400 complaints like mine every month and that there was nothing they could do for me.
Think about that.
I knew where this contractor was. I knew how to locate him. I had suffered a substantial financial loss, and the very office charged with protecting New York consumers offered me no meaningful remedy.
I wasn't asking for preferential treatment. I was asking for accountability.
That experience profoundly influenced how I evaluate the priorities of New York's attorney general.
And that brings me to @sarithaforny confrontation with Letitia James during their October 8 debate.
Komatireddy challenged James over Medicaid fraud enforcement, alleging that annual recoveries had fallen from approximately $250 million under previous attorneys general to $19 million, while criminal convictions had dropped dramatically.
Those figures were presented as campaign allegations and deserve examination against the official annual reports.
James defended her office's approach, emphasizing investigations of larger operators.
But my concern goes beyond Medicaid.
What happens to ordinary New Yorkers who lose their savings to dishonest contractors?
What happens when they turn to the state for help and are told nothing can be done?
I know what that feels like because I experienced it.
An attorney general cannot personally prosecute every contractor dispute, and I understand that. But consumer protection must mean more than maintaining a complaint system that leaves people feeling abandoned.
My $15,000 was not a political talking point. It was my property, my labor, and my trust.
And I have every right to demand answers about how the office responsible for consumer protection responds to people in situations like mine.

Attached is a photo of the Dead Sea Scrolls that I took last month at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. These were written centuries before your copycat prophet was born.
Perhaps this particular verse deserves your special attention:
״כִּי כַפֵּיכֶם נְגֹאֲלוּ בַדָּם וְאֶצְבְּעוֹתֵיכֶם בֶּעָוֹן, שִׂפְתוֹתֵיכֶם דִּבְּרוּ שֶׁקֶר, לְשׁוֹנְכֶם עַוְלָה תֶהְגֶּה.״
“For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.”

OCTOBER 7, 2023: SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DIE.
Libi Cohen-Meguri, a 22-year-old infantry officer, went to the Nova music festival.
She was shot while fleeing the party. At 8:11 a.m., she called her parents and said:
“I’ve been shot in the stomach, I’ve been shot in the arm, I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.”
Calmly, quietly, she understood; these were the last minutes of her life.
She asked her parents to call Tomer, her twin brother, and Maya, her little sister, and said:
“I’m going to die. I just want you to listen to me.
I love you, Yariv. You’re the best father I could have asked for.
Mom, stop screaming. Just listen to me. You are the best mother we could have ever had. Don’t forget to be a good mother to Tomer and Maya after I die.
Tomer, how lucky we were to live this life together. I love you.
My Maya, never forget—you are the treasure of my life.”
When she finished speaking, her parents told her to get out of the car, lie down on the road, and pretend to be dead.
With her last bit of strength, she got out of the car and laid down on the road.
“Mom, they’re coming to shoot me again,” Libi said after lying down.
While her mother listened on the phone, shouts in Arabic could be heard, and then a barrage of gunfire.
It didn’t stop.
It kept going, until the call was disconnected.
And that’s how Libi died—with demonic beasts from the pit of hell standing over her and emptying a full magazine into her body.
Libi died with LOVE on her lips: love for life, love for her family, and love for her people.
Her memory will forever be a blessing.
NEVER FORGET.
NEVER FORGIVE.
NEVER AGAIN IS NOW.
Israel is hunting down every single Palestinian and Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7th Massacre—to kill them all.
They’re living on “borrowed time,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Sooner or later, every one of these monsters will be found and eliminated.
